This site is designed to record our observations about robots in the world around us. We're also documenting examples of effective museum signage and practicing becoming writers of effective signage ourselves.

I really like how this giant graduated cylinder show visitors how many pints of blood is circulating in our body! I'm always reminded of how important it is to make connections to the "real world" using "real terms" because we have to make this information tangible to the lay audience!
So, using terms such as "equivalent to X amount of garbage trucks" or " as wide as New York to California" are great ways for visitors to understand the relationship and make comparisons.
